The Battle of Nijmegen, also known as the Liberation of Nijmegen, occurred from 17 to 20 September 1944, as part of Operation Market Garden during World War II. The Allies' primary goal was to capture the two bridges over the Waal River at Nijmegen – the road route over the Waalbrug (Waal Bridge) and Nijmegen railway bridge – and relieve the British 1st Airborne Division and Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade at Arnhem, 10 miles (16 km) north of Nijmegen. The Allied infantry units at Arnhem were surrounded by German forces, and involved in heavy fighting for control of bridges over the Rhine.

  • De Slag om Nijmegen of Bevrijding van Nijmegen vond plaats van 17 tot 20 september 1944, als onderdeel van Operatie Market Garden tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het belangrijkste doel van de geallieerde strijdkrachten was om de Waalbrug en Spoorbrug intact te veroveren en een snelle verbinding te verzekeren naar Arnhem, waar om drie bruggen werd gevochten. De verovering van Nijmegen duurde langer dan verwacht, eiste honderden burgerslachtoffers en richtte grote schade aan. Met de Waaloversteek op 20 september werden ten slotte beide bruggen ingenomen, maar het was te laat om de Britse 1e Luchtlandingsdivisie in Arnhem nog te ontzetten. Mede door deze grote vertraging werd Operatie Market Garden, als geheel, een mislukking. (nl)
